Author(s): Michael SchirberInterest in developing batteries based on sodium has recently spiked because of concerns over the sustainability of lithium, which is found in most laptop and electric vehicle batteries. [Physics 17, 73] Published Thu Apr 25, 2024

Author(s): Katherine WrightFor Shirley Meng, the biggest barrier to achieving sustainable batteries is sociological not technological, requiring a change in mindset about how we consume and dispose of batteries. [Physics 17, 72] Published Wed Apr 24, 2024

Author(s): Rachel BerkowitzReal-time in situ x-ray observations of new nickel-rich lithium-ion batteries reveal that reduced performance comes from lithium ions getting trapped in the cathode. [Physics 17, 70] Published Tue Apr 23, 2024
